It takes place the day after tomorrow, after that energy use will fall.. summer time, bright and warm

Surely it should be held at the other end of summer time when energy use rises

rather than celebrate that we should celebrate the day the UK gave rise to the dynosaurs - I read on the BBC they started here in the UK.

Earth hour has been going for years and it hasn't had much effect.

Prince Charles and Al Gore still have huge carbon footprints.

The Guardian waffles on about saving the planet but still runs motoring and travel sections aimed at its affluent, educated readers who claim to care about the environment but who don't care enough to do anything about it.

Were they Miller bottle dynosaurs or Sturmey Archer dynohubsaurs? :wink:

As you only read the Guardian, you obviously aren't aware that other papers, such as The Daily Mail, publish articles about traffic pollution alongside the regular travel and motoring features. Yes, really! Even conservatives can be hypocrites.

Still being held, this year on 24. March

Are the lights formally switched on after, like in Blackpool?

So we may post about it again for a couple of days then forget about it again for another 12 months

Don't worry. The lights may be off involuntarily if mad May's team fail to negotiate a deal with the French, German, Japanese, American, Chinese... owners of our electricity conversion plants!

Black Friday of course

The tokenism of earth hour ['do almost nothing, and talk about it'] really makes me mad (angry)
Wonder what Greta Thunberg thinks?

Aren't they doing anything with that awareness?

Only £2? Where do you buy this coffee?

Probably 'useless' even to bump this thread.

Maybe there'll be none of us left on 28.3.2021. So the thread won't get 'bumped' any more... :cry:
